Element One

Element One is Lawrence Technological University's race team competing in the 2008 Formula Zero Championship, the world's first-ever hydrogen fuel cell race series. The team comprises over 50 members from the Colleges of Engineering and Arts and Sciences. The team officially entered the competition and submitted initial designs on June 12, 2007. The Element One team placed in the top three during their Step 3 design. The team completed their final design, Step 4 of the design competition, in March 2008. On March 14th, 2008, Formula Zero announced that Element One placed 1st in the design competition and was one of six teams to receive a 'race package' from the organizers, which consists of a 8-kW Hydrogenics fuel cell power module and a hydrogen storage cylinder. Teams awarded the race package were permitted to build and race their hydrogen powered race vehicle in the 2008 race series. Races are expected to be held in locations such as the U.K., the Netherlands, Spain, the U.S., and several other planned locations. The first race took place on August 22nd, 2008 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Unfortunately, Element One did not race at the event due to issues with ground clearance [http://www.gizmag.com/formula-zero-begins-the-historic-first-hydrogen-fuel-cell-race/9904/] . Nonetheless, the team managed to get the vehicle running immediately after the race back at the Formula Zero Rotterdam test facility.
